This beautifully orchestrated production of Lamb Of God by the London Symphony Orchestra will lift and inspire. No matter what Christian denomination you belong to, you will love this! The motifs are very clever, and the feeling the composer and symphony put in it are astounding, especially on the songs "Make Me Whole" and "Lord, is it I?" "Gethsemane" is another great piece, with the cello representing the Lord. Wonderful messages from the last week of the Savior Jesus Christ. Available on Amazon.
